vlookup with date

Archie Villa

Hi everyone

I am currently doing a vlookup to a reference column with a date format, to another sheet in a specific cell but my column is in text/number format. i got this error "invalid column value".

Is there a way i could convert the date value to a text or number?

thank you

Hi Archie,

Yes, you can add + ”” at the end of the formula.

Something like this.

=[Start Date]@row + ""

Did that work?

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic weekend!

Best,
